Ucore Continues to Advance its US DoD Demonstration Project towards Louisiana REE Commercialization


Halifax, Nova Scotia (October 24, 2024) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) (“Ucore” or the “Company”) is pleased to update on its US$4 million Other Transaction Agreement (the “OTA”) with the US Department of Defense (the “DoD”). The work is taking place at the Company’s Commercialization and Demonstration Facility (“CDF”) in Kingston, Ontario, utilizing its 52-Stage RapidSX™ Demonstration Plant (“Demo Plant”) for the separation of mixed heavy and light rare earth elements (“REE”) from a mixed rare earth oxide (“MREO”).

Figure 1 - Ucore’s 52-stage RapidSX™ Commercial Demo Plant in Kingston, Ontario (upper) and its Developing Louisiana SMC in Alexandria, Louisiana (lower)

During an October 2024 CDF visit by the DoD, the Company reported that it has completed 60% of the stated objectives in the Project’s Statement of Work, including:


Establishment of an enhanced on-site analytical laboratory to support 120 hours a week of scheduled shift work
Institution of a Continuous Improvement Program to ensure a “copy and paste” RapidSX™ technology transfer from Kingston, Ontario, to Ucore’s developing commercial REE separation plant in Alexandria, Louisiana – the Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex (“SMC”)
Completion of over 2,600 hours of Demo Plant runtime
Processing over 3 tonnes of REE derived from a heavy rare earth element ionic clay sourced MREO
Producing over 57,000 liters of rare earth chloride raffinates and 57,000 liters of rare earth chloride strip liquors
Direct comparisons of the RapidSX™ Demo Plant against the smaller scale conventional SX Pilot Plant for purity and recovery – with every result to date indicating that RapidSX™ is equal to or superior
Working towards the establishment of a commercial REE Western supply chain:
Conducting approximately thirty CDF tours since the Project kickoff with US and Canadian government entities, REE resource companies, REE magnet and metal makers, automotive OEMs, rare earth oxide (“REO”) consumers, international trading companies, financiers, and other current and prospective SMC partners
Resulting in several preliminary agreements for MREC or MREO supply and developing oxide offtake arrangements for the Louisiana SMC


"The DoD work that Ucore is performing in Kingston is essential to the commercial deployment of our RapidSX™ separation technology in Louisiana,” stated Mike Schrider, P.E., Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Ucore. "The operation of our demonstration-scale plant de-risks the commercial scale-up and allows Ucore the opportunity to attract like-minded Western partners as the Company works to assist in establishing an alternative rare earth supply chain – particularly for heavy rare elements which are essential to the operation of rare earth permanent magnets at elevated temperatures in military, commercial and consumer vehicles and robots.”


The Company will continue the execution of its DoD heavy REE Project through the first half of 2025 and then transition to the completion of its previously announced C$4.28M light REE demonstration project with the Government of Canada.

Ucore Welcomes Canadian Government Officials to its Kingston Ontario CDF for an NRCan Funding Announcement


Halifax, Nova Scotia (February 5, 2024) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) (“Ucore” or the “Company”) is pleased to host Canadian Government officials at its RapidSX™ Commercialization and Demonstration Facility (“CDF”) in Kingston, Ontario, for the formal announcement of $4.2 million of funding through Natural Resources Canada’s (“NRCan”) Critical Minerals Research, Development and Demonstration (“CMRDD”) program. This funding program was originally announced by Ucore on November 20, 2023.

Today, Mark Gerretsen, Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands, on behalf of the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced a $4.2-million investment to Ucore Rare Metals Inc. This investment will help scale up and demonstrate the commercial efficacy of Ucore’s pending patent and Canadian-developed RapidSX™ rare earth element separation technology platform under rigorously simulated commercial conditions.

The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, stated, “Critical metals like rare earth elements are an integral part of many clean technologies and energy sources. Demand for these resources will only grow. That is why we are taking action to build resilient and secure supply chains that provide the materials we need and the good jobs Canadian workers deserve right here in Canada. Investments like today’s, help to support these goals and will help us to build a prosperous and sustainable low-carbon economy that works for everyone.”

Funded through the CMRDD program, Ucore’s project will support Canada in increasing the supply of metals that are essential to the development of electric vehicle motors and wind turbines. This is a critical step in the development of a domestic electric vehicle value chain.

Mike Schrider, P.E., Vice President & COO of Ucore, noted, “This NRCan demonstration project shines a light on the lesser known but equally important aspect of the critical metals supply chain in North America — rare earth elements. A rare earth permanent magnet motor is by far the most efficient means of converting electrical energy from batteries to mechanical energy for electric vehicles, and in reverse, wind turbines. Ucore is very appreciative of this NRCan opportunity to demonstrate our transformative RapidSX™ technology for the separation of rare earth elements with our Canadian project partners, Cyclic Materials, Defense Metals, and Kingston Process Metallurgy. Through this project, we are moving Canada closer to fully incorporating these critical supply chain metals on a significant commercial scale.”


Primary NRCan Objectives for the Project:

Instead of shipping Canada’s concentrates overseas for foreign separation, Ucore's project will support Canada’s direct participation in the growing market of heavy and light rare earth elements. This funding will also provide employment opportunities for skilled trades and professional occupations, including Indigenous communities. Importantly, the investment supports the development of Canadian expertise and deploys a new, more sustainable technology to the benefit of other domestic companies. In addition to electric vehicles, rare earth elements are also required for wind turbines and a variety of electronics.

In early March, the Company hosted dozens of industry and government visitors for private tours and presentations at its CDF in Kingston, Ontario. The by-invite-only tours introduced and/or updated key existing and prospective strategic partners by demonstrating the operational advantages of Ucore's RapidSX™ 52-stage REE separation processing system. Ucore highlighted the uniqueness of being able to qualify original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") planned product requirements and outlined the next stages of commercial deployment activities made possible by the upscale design and function of the Demo Plant. Ucore is now executing a commercial deployment strategy of its RapidSX™ technology platform, which involves "copying and pasting" the current activities within the CDF to its first planned commercial scale REE separation and oxide production plant.

The Company, its engineering partner, Mech-Chem Associates, Inc. ("Mech-Chem"), and the scientific team at KPM are developing the full-scale engineering for the first Strategic Metals Complex ("SMC"). The SMC is a planned REE separation and rare earth oxide production plant slated to commence construction in the US State of Louisiana this year. It is scheduled to initially process 2,000 tonnes of total rare earth oxides ("TREO") by Q1-2025, increasing to 5,000 tonnes in 2026. Additionally, Ucore is investigating expanding the production throughput to 7,500 tpa of TREO by 2028 due to the specific characteristics of the soon-to-be-announced Louisiana SMC brownfield facility.

"Ucore recently had a tremendous opportunity to meet with and demonstrate our precise plan of establishing an independent REE supply chain to current and prospective industry and government partners at the CDF," stated Mike Schrider, P.E., Ucore's VP and COO. "We have assembled a remarkable team to develop the Demo Plant and, in parallel, the full-scale facility in Louisiana. The RapidSX™ technology platform assembly, commissioning, and demonstration process results learned in Kingston will continue to be directly applied to our planned Louisiana SMC and other planned SMCs – one of which is destined for Canada."

Concurrently, the Company has successfully completed the first phase of extraction circuit testing during its SX-1i synthetic monazite trials at the Demo Plant. SX-1 is designed to separate the heavy REE ("HREE") from the light REE ("LREE"); the results showed that the target separation was achieved and could be enhanced by further tuning of the operational parameters – which is the specific objective of the commissioning trials. Solvent extraction by RapidSX™ is highly effective, efficient, adaptable, and easy to implement in contrast to conventional mixer settlers.

Once commissioned, the Demo Plant is designed to demonstrate the techno-economic advantages, scale-up (currently projected at ˜6X), and commercial durability of the RapidSX™ technology platform. The Demo plant will process tens of tonnes of North American-friendly sources of mixed rare earth chemical concentrates over thousands of run-time hours in a simulated production environment. The planned output products are high-purity NdPr, praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, and dysprosium REEs, to be incorporated into the early stages of OEM qualification trials in Kingston coupled with demonstration and verification trials in Louisiana.

Once commissioned, the Demo Plant is designed to demonstrate the techno-economic advantages, scale-up, and commercial durability of the RapidSX™ technology platform by processing tens of tonnes of North American-friendly sources of mixed rare earth chemical concentrates in a simulated production environment. The planned output products are high-purity NdPr, praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, and dysprosium REEs, to be incorporated into the early stages of original equipment manufacturers' ("OEM") qualification trials.

Simultaneously, Ucore, its engineering partner, Mech-Chem Associates, Inc. ("Mech-Chem"), and KPM are developing the full-scale engineering for the Company's first Strategic Metals Complex ("SMC"). The SMC is a planned REE separation and rare earth oxide production plant slated to commence construction in the US State of Louisiana this year. It is scheduled to initially process 2,000 tonnes of total rare earth oxides ("TREO") by the end of 2024, increasing to 5,000 tonnes in 2026.

"We are extremely pleased with the work at the CDF in concert with our partners, KPM, Mech-Chem, and a host of other supporting contractors and vendors. As we work toward near-term commercial deployment of the RapidSX™ rare earth element separation technology in North America," stated Mike Schrider, P.E., Ucore's VP and COO. "Implementing the Demo Plant commissioning process is a huge milestone for the team, and this is scheduled to be followed by a series of heavy and light rare earth element process demonstrations separating tens of tonnes of mixed rare earth concentrates over thousands of hours of facility run-time."

Folks,
I am with XXXXXXX on this. What happen at 3:00 EST? Volume shot through the roof. A little spike at 09:00 but nothing compared to 3:00. So something happen both in US and Canada. The question is what. Okay, guesses. Could be test results, commissioning, or everybody favorite funding. Either way somebody started buying Ucore big time. So one time event or just the start of something?
XXXXXXX

UURAF Detailed Quote

The US State of Louisiana Offers C$15M+ Incentive Package for Ucore’s First RapidSX Rare Earth Processing Facility – the Louisiana SMC

- The proposed incentive package from Louisiana includes US$9.6M in tax incentives and payroll rebates over the first ten years of operation. Upon specific site selection:
- - potential additional state and local economic and workforce incentives
- - an expedited process for all required state permits
- Ucore’s Board of Directors has unanimously agreed to commit the Company toward establishing its first Strategic Metals Complex (SMC) in Louisiana
- Rare earth oxide products from the Louisiana SMC will be critical to North America’s and Louisiana’s goal to expand toward green energy technologies

Halifax, Nova Scotia (October 17, 2022) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) (“Ucore” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a mutual commitment with the US State of Louisiana (“Louisiana” or the “State”) toward the establishment of the Company’s first Strategic Metals Complex (“SMC”) rare earth element (“REE”) separation facility – the Louisiana SMC.

The Company’s executive team has been in discussions with the State since the spring of 2022 and spent the better part of summer in a due-diligence process. This included an August trip to examine ten existing “brownfield facilities” throughout the State. Each of these facilities provides a head start as the prospective location of the Louisiana SMC versus a new construction or “greenfield facility.”

Critical markers for success, such as streamlined inbound and outbound freight, ample supply and proximity of chemicals and reagents, attractive energy costs, the robustness of labor pools, room for ramp-up and production expansion and community support, including technical education infrastructure were all part of the size-up. Over the next few months, Ucore will select the specific facility that provides the Company with the best opportunity to execute its objective of commencing 2,000 tonnes per year of individual rare earth oxide (“REO”) production by H2-2024 and 5,000+ tonnes per year from 2026 onward.

[[ Hmmmm A very unexpected change from Canadian & Alaskan orientation, although I like the "brownfield" aspect of this decision. ]]

Ucore Updates on Bokan 2022 Field Sampling Program

October 6, 2022

Ucore continues to advance its Bokan project as a long-range heavy rare earth source to eventually complement the planned Western feedstock sources for its near-term Strategic Metals Complexes.

A summary of the 2022 field sampling program:

- Two new ˜25-ton bulk samples were collected from the western portion of the main Dotson Ridge mineralized zone
- A total of 31 new sites across the entire Dotson Ridge mineralized zone were channel sampled and consisted of 137 samples
- The geological team expects:
- - the channel sampling program will allow a significant portion of the modeled rare earth resource to be upgraded from ‘Indicated’ to ‘Measured’
- - the overall quantity of the mineral resource will marginally increase due to new exposures of vein materials discovered during the sampling program

Halifax, Nova Scotia (October 6, 2022) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) (“Ucore” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update regarding the 2022 field sampling program (the “Field Program”) at its Bokan-Dotson Ridge heavy rare earth element (“REE”) mineral resource project (“Bokan”).

“Ucore continues to work to unlock the critical heavy rare earth elements at Bokan Mountain,” stated Mike Schrider, P.E., Ucore’s Vice-President and COO. “The execution of this summer’s Field Program, coupled with previous years’ successful drill programs, now positions the Bokan property closer to a feasibility study and will allow Ucore to upgrade approximately 20% of the currently ‘Indicated’ mineral resource to a ‘Measured’ resource classification.

“Ucore continues to advance its Bokan project as a long-range heavy rare earth source to eventually complement the planned Western feedstock sources for its near-term Strategic Metals Complexes. North America desperately needs independent mineral resources to transition to a green energy future centered on electric vehicles and renewable energy sources – both of which are more achievable with the heavy rare earth elements provided at Bokan Mountain.”

Pat Ryan of Ucore Rare Metals on the importance of securing a domestic rare earths supply chain

Sept 30, 2022

In this InvestorIntel interview, host Jack Lifton talks to Ucore Rare Metals Inc.‘s (TSXV: UCU | OTCQX: UURAF) Chairman and CEO Pat Ryan about the importance of securing a domestic rare earths supply chain and how Ucore is moving forward with their unique technology to commission a demonstration rare earth oxides processing plant by the end of the year.

In the interview, which can also be viewed in full on the InvestorIntel YouTube channel (click here to access InvestorChannel.com), Pat talks about his previous experience founding a Tier 1 automotive company and how important a stable and reliable supply chain is to the industry. “There are six times more critical metals in an electric vehicle than are in an internal combustion engine,” Pat tells Jack. “The supply chain to support it – the metallic supply chains – are needed. It’s right back to the days of Henry Ford when we had to invest in rubber plants and invest in steel mills and things that were required to make sure he could build his Model T vehicles back then, and the same thing applies today.”
